Please don’t copy and paste but use the points which are important to you and put in your own words. Your submission doesn’t need to be long or detailed but just show your heart for Glenlee.

 

“The Heritage Council of NSW resolved, at its meeting on 5 July 2022, to give notice of its intention to consider listing Glenlee on the State Heritage Register (SHR) in acknowledgement of its heritage significance to the people of New South Wales. This advice is in accordance with section 33(1)(a) of the Heritage Act 1977 (NSW).

​

The Georges River Councillors have unanimously carried resolutions calling on Council to seek funding to purchase Glenlee. 

 

Local State Member Mark Coure developed a petition asking for community support in opposing the proposed development application (DA2021/0181) at the Glenlee (Lugarno Farm) precinct in favour of handing this space to the community to preserve the intrinsic social, cultural and environmental significance.  He wrote to the Premier, Treasurer and other relevant Ministers requesting funds for the NSW Government to acquire Glenlee.

 

The Upper House of state parliament passed a resolution that the Government purchase Glenlee.

 

We need you to take action urgently.  Use the email addresses below and call on Georges River Councillors, the state government and opposition parties to work to purchase Glenlee now before it is again too late.
